Just over twenty years ago, Donald Buldhaupt moved from his farm into town. The life-long Lake Wilson resident spent a lifetime farming, including welding projects with his brother, but now Don needed something to do with his time. “I decided to work in my garage building things out of wood,” he said. And for twenty years, that’s exactly what he did! Two years ago Don moved to Pipestone and brought with him about thirtyfive of the over fifty replica tractors, farm equipment and construction vehicles he designed and built entirely out of wood. Don remarked, “Sometimes I use a little wire, maybe a nail or a small jewelry chain, but otherwise they are all wood.” This includes wheels, tracks and moving parts! “I often had to design my own tools to use. It was a learning process.”
